Our Editors Sent Me Their Favorite Animal-Print Finds—21 Chic Styles to Shop for Fall 2025

A love for prints is the common denominator for 2025. Polka dots were everywhere this summer, and celebs, from Hailey Bieber to Kendall Jenner couldn't get enough of the spots. Gingham had its 15 minutes of fame thanks to Olivia Rodrigo's vintage Ralph Lauren dress at Wimbledon this July, and an Audrey Hepburn classic, the sailor-striped shirt, reached its peak in late summer on the fashion set. With a new season upon us, I'm here to share this fall's hottest print—anything and everything animal.

Wildly chic and far from tame, this trend goes beyond your typical cheetah and snakeskin fashion. Zebra stripes briefly appeared on our feeds last spring, following Dua Lipa's endorsement of black-and-white open-toe heels, and it has since gained momentum among the fashion crowd on dresses, skirts, and more. Plus, cow, leopard, and dalmatian (shocking, I know) prints are also editor-approved animal prints for fall 2025.

I asked my fellow Who What Wear editors to send me their favorite animal-print pieces for fall. Be prepared for leopard-spotted pants, snake-patterned midi skirts, dalmatian-inspired totes, and cow-print loafers. Shop the handpicked editor finds, and embrace the animal-print trend.

Veda

Barrow Leather Low Waist Skirt

"The perfect zebra-print knee-length skirt is here, and it's selling out just as quickly as it should—it's that good."

ALAÏA

Le Teckel Leather-Trimmed Leopard-Print Calf Hair Clutch

"I took a train all the way to Paris (granted, I was already in London) to buy my Le Teckel shoulder bag, and I'd do the same for this leopard-print pony-hair clutch version. It's perfect."

& Other Stories

Snake Pattern Leather Midi Skirt

"I'm in my pencil-skirt era. This polished but fun piece is next on my shopping list."

Khaite

Kye Shoulder Bag in Natural Python-Embossed Leather

"Khaite does animal print so elegantly. I especially love its snakeskin print in the brand's new pencil case–like bag. If I owned it, I'd wear it all fall long with a black minidress, sheer tights, and pointed-toe slingbacks."

ANDERSON'S

Leopard-Print Calf Hair Belt

"This belt will take a simple white tee and jeans to the next level. Trust me."

ZARA

Leather Slingback Ballet Flats

"I'll be amping up my outfits this fall with these chic calf-hair slingback flats from Zara. The animal print feels fashion-forward, and they're sleek enough to wear to work."

Dolce Vita

Jagger Handbag

"Leopard print is a perennial classic in my eyes. This bag will add the coolest touch to my fall looks."

Bobby Schuessler, Market Director

Madewell

The Mylie Shoulder Bag

"Don't sleep on Madewell's bags! They're so good and look designer."

Vince

Nora Genuine Calf Hair Loafer

"These Vince loafers are certainly statement making but also incredibly versatile. You could style them with so many outfits."

Anna LaPlaca, Senior Fashion Editor

Liffner

Sprout Micro Tote

"I'm in love with this dalmation print that feels especially fresh right now."

DÉHANCHE

Snake-Effect Leather Belt

"This belt with black jeans and a leather jacket? My dream fall outfit. Cute."

BALMAIN

Anthem Medium Shoulder Bag

"I haven't thought about anything zebra printed since middle school, but I stumbled upon this belted Balmain handbag and fell in love. Yes, it's an investment, but if you can swing it, it's so worth it. All your favorite outfits will instantly have a little dash of cool."

adidas

Cow Print Samba Long Tongue Shoes

"Call me basic or whatever you want, but I love these cow-printed Adidas. They're at such an affordable price point while looking so fun and stylish. If you want a low-effort way to add special details to a simple look, this is a great solution."

Proenza Schouler

Glove Slippers

"I have yet to see any fashion items in tiger print. I definitely think brands should use it more. The warm tones are perfect for fall, and the texture on these flats is everything."

"Our team are such fans of Marc Fisher shoes—these leopard-print ones included. I still like wearing open-toe kitten heels with tights in the fall."

Vivienne Westwood

Black Granny Frame Bag

"I bought this croc-embossed Vivienne Westwood mini bag with gold hardware, which is now sold out, many years ago, but it still comes in silver."

Kerane Marcellus, Associate Fashion Editor

Sanctuary

Cropped Barn Jacket

"I'm not usually an animal-print person, but this jacket is so fun, and the print doesn't look tacky, in my opinion."

Madewell

The Darted Barrel-Leg Jean

"I adore barrel-fit jeans, and from my last pick, I'm clearly having a leopard-print hyperfixation."

Aeyde

Uma Zebra Pony Hair Mary Jane Flats

"I can't leave my apartment without spotting a pair of animal-print Mary Janes. I'm having severe FOMO. I need to get a pair stat!"

"Coach is serving up look after look. I'm already a fan of the Asher Shoulder Bag, but it coming in cow print sold it for me."

MANGO

Leopard-Print Long Coat

"I'm on the hunt for a new fall coat. This leopard-print beauty is number one on my wish list."
